  7. dnl gl_THREADLIB
  8. dnl ------------
  9. dnl Tests for a multithreading library to be used.
  10. dnl If the configure.ac contains a definition of the gl_THREADLIB_DEFAULT_NO
  11. dnl (it must be placed before the invocation of gl_THREADLIB_EARLY!), then the
  12. dnl default is 'no', otherwise it is system dependent. In both cases, the user
  13. dnl can change the choice through the options --enable-threads=choice or
  14. dnl --disable-threads.
  15. dnl Defines at most one of the macros USE_POSIX_THREADS, USE_SOLARIS_THREADS,
  16. dnl USE_PTH_THREADS, USE_WINDOWS_THREADS
  17. dnl Sets the variables LIBTHREAD and LTLIBTHREAD to the linker options for use
  18. dnl in a Makefile (LIBTHREAD for use without libtool, LTLIBTHREAD for use with
  19. dnl libtool).
  20. dnl Sets the variables LIBMULTITHREAD and LTLIBMULTITHREAD similarly, for
  21. dnl programs that really need multithread functionality. The difference
  22. dnl between LIBTHREAD and LIBMULTITHREAD is that on platforms supporting weak
  23. dnl symbols, typically LIBTHREAD is empty whereas LIBMULTITHREAD is not.
  24. dnl Adds to CPPFLAGS the flag -D_REENTRANT or -D_THREAD_SAFE if needed for
  25. dnl multithread-safe programs.
